the all wheel drive with the V8

[kavalis]

Looking for a 2006 SE 4X4. The V6 is multi mode like I have now. So the V8’s are always in H4.... even when your barreling down the freeway at 90 mph? :surfer:

[jwyshrek]

[progress4m]

[kavalis]

yes!!

so doesn't that drain thee old tank? :lookout:

 

[ridefast]

there are 2 extra cylinders to dump gas into.

the AWD on the V8 shuts off at 1.21 gigawatts or roughly 1/6480 of light speed...for saftey reasons

 

[zerowkul98]

ONE POINT TWENTY ONE JIGGAWATTS?!?!?!!?

 

[kavalis]

yes!!

Guess that would be a good feature if you lived in the dirt on a ranch. Be fab if you lived the dessert. :guitar3:

Nope, its an AWD system in 4 hi, not full 4wd. MPG is 1-2 off (roughly)of the V6 when in 2wd

No, the impact on mpg is tiny. It's the V8 that drains the tank.

AWD 4Hi fulltime, with the option to lock the center Torsen diff (similar to Audi Quattro ) which when locked would make it a 4x4. So while you can't do 2 wheel drive you can do 4lo on pavement without when the center is not locked.

glad someone got it...lol

no no no! our 4runners are full time 4wd, NOT AWD! go look it up!

 

[Bossman]

V8 T4Rs come equipped with a Full-Time 4WD drivetrain, with Torsen Centre Differential, Centre Differential Lock and 2-Speed Transfer Case.

I looked it up, berettashot117

So if I chose the V8 I would basically not even have to turn the knob when I went into to dirt. :reddance:

 

[HialeahScience]

Is highway speeds not safe on the v6 on H4?

Perfectly safe. When in H4, same as V8.

exactly

Think that is only for the limited you don't have to turn the 4WD/AWD on.
